Buy box WIN
Hello,
Is there an automatic option that my competitor is using to adjust their price? Allow me to clarify: every time I lower my price and win the buy box, the other competitor's price changes instantly.
Thanks,

Yes, there is software that will do this auto pricing.
Buy box is not only about price. No one can tell you the secret recipe for winning it, shipping speed offered, selling history, store size, metrics, etc etc etc.

Very likely. By the way, this automation is available to all sellers (or I should say in my category at least).
I know you're not asking but I would never use it.
Try matching the price, instead of lowering it. At least you won't be cheating yourself of profit.
Also, is the competitor offering the same shipping speed as you?
Again, I know you're not asking, but I get sales all the time without being the lowest price offer. I suspect I beat out the US sellers (especially) due to my better delivery dates especially. Good luck.

This is Roberto and I wanted to continue this discussion. I want to specially thank the comments made by @Seller_kNAboD6kRgVt7 and @Seller_LTv2zrpA8Qcn1.
There are different automated pricing rules available to all Sellers. As mentioned, it is highly likely your competitor has an automated pricing rule to go below the lowest price in the offer. You can become more familiar with these rules in this help page:
There are multiple criteria to become the featured offer. You may be facing a scenario where the price is the only differentiator between the other offers. To be on the safe side, I would follow the advice:

Hope this helps,
